Wow, If I were a "high profile elected official" I wouldn't allow my security detail to carry a Sigma. It, arguable, has one of the worst trigger pulls and there is little to nothing that can be done to improve it. People in the shop affectionately call it the "stigma."
I (we) are in total agreement. Every time we bring it up, we get the stonewall answer; "policy." Sigma's suck!
Our contract is for armed officers, retired LEO's all, but does not specify armed with what. Once again, I find myself in the position that I know nothing about my own abilities and my own firearms, but the "company" knows what is best for me.
I'll be retiring (again) in June, when I begin to collect my goodies from Social Security & Medicare. I'd like to thank all the US taxpayers who will be supporting my lavish lifestyle for the next several years.
